w. a lot of it actually depends on what the objective is. if your objective is to destroy the chemical munitions perhaps you could go in and bomb them or otherwise sabotage them. if your goal is to secure them and remove them so that they don't fall into the hands of others and that requires boots on the ground, then that's going to require all sorts of logistical planning and a pretty major effort. in part because, remember, military planners have to plan for the worst case. even if you send a small group of people in, they have to have backup and a way out. there's all sorts of things that have to be planned for, and so as you plan for those contingencies, the number of troops required increases and increases. i think that's a really nasty problem for u.s. military planners, to go and somehow destroy or otherwise remove chemical weapons in the middle of a civil war against a country that has a military that is going to fight back. >> it's great -- >> not a happy thing. >> it's great i

because it goes on speaking of former presidents, because george w. bush got re-elected in 2004 and he and the republicans were prepared to implement the agenda he ran on, elections of consequences. remember that famous soundbyte? obama ran on higher taxes for the wealthy and won. lz, shouldn't he be making the same argument? that is what he ran on. >> absolutely. you know what i find interesting, if you look at the statistics, many of the blue states that supported president obama are some of the richest states in the country. and so not only did you have him defeat romney pretty handedly in the electoral college, but people willing to sacrifice their own money to make sure that president obama, his policies made it to the white house. you know, it was the exact opposite in just the republicans. some of the red states were some of the poorest states in the country. so i think it is very interesting that when you see average american citizens who happen to be making a little bit more money willing to sacrifice for the good of the country, i think that
